Gitea · Act Runner · CVE-2026-58053
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Gitea act runner versions prior to 0.262.0
**Description**
When using the Docker backend, the software passes the `container.options` string from a workflow to the Docker job container's HostConfig. If `privileged` is set to `false`, the system only disables the Privileged flag but merges other options such as `--pid=host`, `--cap-add`, and `--security-opt` without changes. This allows a user capable of running a workflow on a Docker-backed runner to create a job container with host namespaces and broad capabilities, enabling a container escape to the host system with root privileges.
**Recommendations**
Update Gitea act runner to version 0.262.0 or later.
